Hello,
Thanks for writing in HCM.
It is unfortunate that you got bit by spider a week ago. It is good sign that some of the wound is healing.

You can take Ibuprofen to get relief from pain and inflammation. Also you can take Tablet. Levocetrizine 10mg once a day for itching sensation.
Keep the area clean and healthy. You can use warm water and mild antiseptic like Savlon to wash the area and prevent it from getting infected. You can also apply calamine lotion to control itching and swelling in the surrounding areas.

Wish you good health and speedy recovery.
